"The Harbinger", fifth in "Witches of Palmetto Point" starts out with one ghostly mystery, promptly abandons it for presumed resurrection in a future book, and moves on to another.
This time round demons are possessing people and spreading death and disaster. Charlie sets out to figure out how to send them back to where they came from.
A new character, Cameron, an FBI friend of Jason is sceptical of Charlie's powers and his attitude seems to infect Jason (who has plenty of reasons to believe in her) to the extent that Charlie is sidelined as the authorities seek a human killer.
Character development is a problem in the series - there isn't any.
The end is very rushed and didn't work for me.
This is the last in the series I will be reading.

Such an Enjoyable Series
Who wouldn’t want to be part of Charlie’s extended family where the food is so delicious, the main characters so down to earth, the magical talent so diverse and their predicaments they encounter so dark, dangerous and mysterious?
An enjoyable series where one of my favorite characters is turning out to be the Grim Reaper, of all people. The action is non stop, the plot twists surprising and the writing is satisfying (except for a little bit of editing errors). All in all a 5 star read.

Lots of typos and grammatical errors still. Plot holes were appearing but I still enjoy this series.

Perfect blend of paranormal and humor with a touch of scary.. The series revolves around Charlie Payne and her cousins who are all witches but Charlie can also see and hear spirits.
This time Charlie is up against a demon who is possessing an evil mans body and killing women. Since the first book everyone but Daphine is now with a significant other. Charlie is dating the Grim Reaper, Lisa is dating the deputy sheriff and Jen is in a complicated relationship with a Defender of Light. Now that Charlie has accepted her destiny as a witch she doesn't hesitate to call on her cousins and Aunt for their help with dealing with ghosts and demons.
I really enjoy these spooky stories in the series along with the lovable unconventional cast of characters that keeps growing.

The stories are solid, but the editing and often the grammar are pretty bad. "Of" is often used where it's completely extraneous, "who" and "whom" are relentlessly abused (in fact, "whom" never appears) and once, she describes a cat, Lisa's familiar, as being "nonplussed" when she really meant 'totally cool with it.' ("Nonplussed" means just the opposite, as in 'totally freaked.') As more books are added to the series, the editing becomes increasingly sloppy, with words meant for a previous draft left in, and once an entire phrase was simply repeated in the same sentence.
The biggest issue for this reviewer, however, is the casual racism. Beautiful women are almost always depicted as having "heart-shaped" faces with blonde hair and blue or green eyes, with the exception of two sisters who are cousins of the protagonist, Charlie Payne--and one of those always uses a glamour to make herself look more lovely than she is.
Far more serious, however, is that the ONLY person of color was in Book 1. She appeared very briefly as a ghost haunting the employee bathroom where she died after having been shamed by a supervisor, literally worried to death by the prospect of losing her job and her health insurance; the author took that and then made a crass joke about naked arses sitting on her face in the toilet, even giving the poor spirit a blackcent. WTF?? There are no Latinx, Asian, indigenous or Middle Eastern characters anywhere, and after 5 books there is still just the one character of color who was made the butt of a bad joke--yes, pun intended.
"According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Charlotte was:
White: 48.83%
*****Black or African American: 35.22%*****
Asian: 6.52%
Other race: 6.12%
Two or more races: 2.81%
Native American: 0.43%
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.06%".

Still, it's witch season read, and all these books are free on Kindle Unlimited. Maybe someone will alert the author about this obvious problem before the series is concluded. This reviewer would not pay to read them, because of their racism.

Like a lot of other reviewers, I was a bit disappointed in The Harbinger. I have really enjoyed this series up to this book. The Harbinger wasn't bad, but there seemed to be so many inconsistencies in the behaviour of the characters and I ended up disliking characters I had previously liked - not Jason - I have never particularly liked him, but I was disappointed that Lisa accepted his behaviour.
I have moved straight on to Shadow Child in the hope that it will redeem the series for me.

I'm enjoying this series. I'm glad I found it. I like that it's paranormal without the romance. (I'm tired of the romance genre at the moment.) The way Charlie and her family work together having all the various differences in gifts is interesting. I am enjoying getting to know each of the cousins. The only thing that I found odd was Jason's response to Charlie's knowledge of demon possession. Even in the various Christian religions demon possession is a thing. After seeing and believing everything she's done... Why would he just stop and take his friends word for it. I don't see that happening. Especially when his own girlfriend, Charlie's cousin, tells him the same thing Charlie does. That rift is ridiculous.

I enjoy the Witches of Palmetto Point characters, which have become more and more real to me over the book series. This was also a very good book, however, it almost felt anticlimactic towards the end where the Witches (and Tom) deal with the demon. I feel that so much more could have been said and done with this part of the book.

Bon finalement j'aime bien le duo Lisa et Jason. Hâte de voir où Cameron fit dans tout ça ?
June 1, 2020
This is the first book in the series that I didn't enjoy all that much. It was somehow boring, possibly because of the repetition in how cases develop and unfold, and how Charlie gets harmed--yet again -- and I basically hopped and skipped to near the end where I found that action oddly uncompelling and rushed.

Demons...unchartered territory twist
This book got a little hairy with the demon twists and turns but I liked it because the core group continues to show such loyalty, love and kinship! It was also nice to see the author focusing on another key players and develop Jen and Lisa’ storylines. I am looking forward to reading what Ms. Wang has in store for us with Daphne’s character.

Somewhat disappointed
I have been steadily loving the books of the Witches of Palmetto Point series, but this one, The Harbinger, I have more mixed feelings about. On one hand I loved that they were diving a little deeper into the world of magic by introducing demons & their evil. Every book peels back a little more of the mythology Wendy Wang is building. However, I feel that the book really should've just focused on that.
To be honest, I don't know why any of the stuff with the hurricane & the spirit harbinger appears in this book at all. It just fooled me in the beginning into thinking the book was about something completely else. The harbinger ghost has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of this book, nor does see any closure of the story. There is no reason for it to appear here. It's a shame because I feel like there might have been a good story there worthy of a whole book. I feel like the author didn't quite know what to call this book & so she just added the, like, 2 chapters about the harbinger so she could call it that. It's lazy & it misrepresents the book's plot.
AND those two chapters could've been better used as actual closure for the REAL plot of this book. There was so much time spent going after the demons, finding & identifying them, seeking them out, & then the big payoff is both demons are easily captured & banished within a matter of like 4 pages. So freaking weak. And, now that I consider it, why were there two demons? Was that really necessary? Again, I feel like the author just threw two halfhearted stories together when she could've combined the two demon plotlines into something really good.
Instead we just get a slew of unanswered questions, curiosities briefly mentioned & then seemingly forgotten, like, why did the demon Ben was after have red eyes? What was the green mist the second demon was feeding the stolen baby? What actually happened to the demons?! They are just easily beaten after so much build up & we never hear anything else about it. And then there is freaking Cameron. Who I HATED throughout the story, eagerly waiting for him to get his & realize that Charlie wasn't a fraud & see him eat his words... only it never came. We never get to see that horrible character get his just deserts or anything. It killed me. Why did I have to put up with his negativity only to have it never addressed.
And believe it or not I'm not even done. I have one final bone of contention & that is THE GRAMMATICAL ERRORS. The previous books have had a few in each, with the number increasing in each subsequent book, but this one was terrible. There were apostrophes in the wrong places or not appearing at all. The commas... Lord have mercy, The commas! They might just appear in the middle of a sentence, but rarely show up anywhere they were actually SUPPOSED to be!! It drove me mad! But the very worse REPEATED punctuation error was if someone was speaking & did not finish a sentence. In most books, that would look like, "I don't know..." Instead, constantly throughout the book she would simply close the quotation marks with NO PUNCTUATION at all. It was jarring & honestly, hard to look at.
Between the plot being all over the place like it was, dealing with an extremely negative character who seemed to exist just to piss me off, & the constant annoying punctuation imperfections, my enjoyment of this book was seriously hampered. I'm hoping that Ms. Wang just had an off day, but if this trend continues I will unfortunately have to stop reading this series.

the Harbinger by Wang, Wendy (The first books I’ve read with so many mistakes that Wang needs a refresher course in Language Arts.)
Wang claimed this to be a difficult book to write due to uncharted territory for Charlie, but I disagree! This was a difficult book PERIOD due to so many sentence fragments and the worse punctuation usage I’ve ever seen in a published work!
It is/was hard to write a review of the book itself where characters had potential to excel except I had to read and reread what Wang had tried to write - but fragments, punctuation marks, and word choices were horrendous. (I even had to ask someone else I trust dearly to tell me it wasn’t just me. I felt I was having some sort of brain guffaw going on that was making the writer’s writing being sent from separate pages and paragraphs.)
Chapters 2, 3, and 4 had the most errors of any writer. I had elementary grade students who could and did write better.
Wang, a suggestion- your proofreaders and editor take a refresher course in editing. This book with so many mistakes was embarrassing as was the language in places.
I haven’t written reviews on the previous fours books as the only one worth commenting on would have been the very first one was enticing.
Lisa, Jen, Daphne, Evangeline, and Jack had so much to offer as supporting characters. Jason and even Tom are really the stars more so than Charlie. Charlie was an accidental witch but a simple psychic.

Took off a point for cut scenes
I like these characters. I care what happens to all of them. That’s an accomplishment to be proud of. I am just irritated with how much detail can be given to a rock, food, other stuff I skim read but when it gets to the good stuff it literally skips it. Like tv tactics in a book. Tom and Charlie get busy, skip. Charlie gets hurt, skip. And many more. Nothing from the captured Lisa, Charlie’s healing, or the other family members reaction to any of it. This book was two chapters short. It happens in every book but it’s not a new series anymore and I’m over it. Dive in there Author! The missed opportunities to make a good book great make me sad. One cat, one familiar, and one dead chicken could make for a interesting time, am I right? I don’t know because the other didn’t see the opportunity and include it.

Vanquishing demons
Charlie, her coven, Ben, and Tom with the help, giving grudgingly, from Jason and Cameron, come up against some vengeful demons. The light of goodness and faith from one is not enough. Power comes from the collective and sometimes you have to break a few rules to and look outside your box to make a difference. You will be on the edge of your seat, trying to figure out what is going to happen and if the team can do what they came to do! Thank you Wendy Wang!! Enjoy your reading! Blessings

Loving The Series
I’ve enjoyed these books very much, up to this point, including even this one. The first four books I actually gave 4 stars to.
The reasons for me giving this 1 less was because of a
couple of different things.
The end wrap up regarding one of the major parts of the book, seemed choppy and rushed. For all that it was involved throughout the book, you knew it didn’t end with the arrest and there had to be more. Which there was. But this is the part where it got choppy and rushed, and was dealt with in a matter of a few or so pages.
Another part that got me was the final page with Charlie and Tom talking. I went to turn the page, only to learn that was also the end of that part. Rather abrupt.
And finally the one major point that was a total turn-off was when they were dealing with the demon exorcism, and the graphic words and sentences he was saying in an effort to upset everyone. I felt it went a little over board, and I don’t understand why authors feel the need to go straight to filthy language, sexual references, and the use of the “C” word when talking to a female. Total letdown and disappointed when it goes this route.

Book five of the Witches of Palmetto Point series takes the characters into new territory. I felt like the titular harbinger was a bit of a McGuffin, in that it made an early appearance to start the plot moving, then played no further role in the story. Additionally, It was a bit odd to me that there were two demons in different towns for the characters to face off against. It was almost as if one was thrown in as a "training exercise" for our favorite coven.
Unfortunately, my enjoyment of this story was lessened by the unusually high number of typos and punctuation errors. It was almost as if the author narrated the story to a voice to text application without proofreading the result. There were sentences with no end punctuation, extra quotation marks in non-dialogue paragraphs, strange bits of single word dialogue that didn't really make sense in the context of the conversation -- a bit like the characters were suffering from a form of Tourette's Syndrome which made them interject random words. It was all a bit distracting.
I still like the characters, and feel that, with proper proof-reading/editing, it could be a great read.

Another exciting & fun supernatural murder mystery with sisterhood among cousins and with a little bit of romance.
This time the men really complicate matters! Cameron is fun to hate as the skeptic jerk. I’m kinda mad Jason missed what went down firsthand. Ben has redeemed himself from the last book. It took awhile but the ladies became a lot more distinguishable from each other slowly over the series and more so in this book. I still mix up Jen & Lisa but less so now especially with romantic pairings.
This is one of my favorites from this series so far. Despite some spelling errors and omitted words (which thankfully occur less frequently than in previous books in the series w/o proper editing), I love Wendy Wang’s writing and find it easy to get drawn up into the spooky plots and mysteries. It really is difficult to pick a favorite. I even deliberately read this at a slower pace because I am loving them and quickly catching up to the author’s most current book.

Charlie and her family have their hands full (again) with a serial killer, a demon and a not very nice nonbeliever FBI agent. Meanwhile Ben, an enforcer and investigator from Defenders of Light (oversight of witches), faces a rogue witch and demon in Georgia. Busy, busy defending the innocent and other good works. I like the vulnerability yet strength of the primary and secondary characters as they contend with normal and paranormal events. The plots hold my interest with the right amount of suspense. One picky note: after five books, I despair of this author's copy editor(s?). The books are independently published so I do not know who is, or isn't, taking care of all the many typos and grammar mishaps. Please, please clean this up.

This series is amazing!
Oh my heck, I think this is one of the best series I have ever read! I love the cast of characters and each book has such a unique plot. With this one the witches must face their demons and boy do they. I think the romantic relationships that continue to grow provided a good balance. On a scale of 1 to 5 this entire series is more like a ten! I would highly recommend reading this series in order to in order to better understand the characters. I can't wait for the next book in the series. Another top notch read provided by my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

This was probably one of my most favorite Palmetto Point books. Okay, Tom and Charlie's relationship- I think that I would struggle with knowing that my boyfriend is essentially just applying a glamour to present himself. It makes me wonder if this would actually be viewed as deceiving? I adore the relationship between Jen and Ben- it has great potential!
Lisa seemed to be having such a great lake day with Jason & Cameron- until duty called. I actually felt bad for Lisa.
Moving to Cameron- am I the only one who thought that he was the killer? I despise him and had made the assumption that he would turn out to be the killer.

Great read!
Charlie and her cousins are at it again, although this time, they're up against something they've never dealt with before. In this story, we learn a bit more about Ben and the Defenders of Light and we also meet a new character, Cameron. Not keen on his character but I didn't really like Jason when the series started, so who knows. Great storyline, although I felt like the last 15 pages were crammed with so much that needed to be resolved. And not everything was taken care of...what happened to the ghost with wings? I think if things were a bit more paced out, it would have been a 5 star book. Looking forward to the next one though! Highly recommend!

clear your schedule
I am an avid reader and I was desperately searching for a new series to read. Haunting Charlie was recommended and I thought it was ironic because my husband Charlie has always been able to see spirits. I have gone without sleep, food, and phone calls because I haven’t been able to put this series down. I have loved every one of the books. This was my favorite so far. I love seeing the characters come into their own and acknowledge their powers. Of course Cameron was an ass and I pray that’s not who Daphne has been secretly seeing. I can’t wait to start the next book but alas my family wants dinner and laundry doesn’t fold itself❤️

We meet a new magical threat in the fifth installment of this series. An appropriate one for a paranormal series. We deal with Demons. Once again, the solution seems too simple, but the build up and expansion on the magic of their world is interesting enough to keep me reading. The twist on the murder du jour they deal with was fairly fascinating, and I wish we had more background on that choice. I love the romantic development between all the couples, and am hoping to see more of the fourth cousin Daphne in the next book. I (again) was a bit frustrated with the simple seeming resolution, and it kind of flattened the climax. It is what it is though.

3.5 stars. This was the first novel-length book in the Witches of Palmetto Point series, but I felt it could have been shortened. The story wasn’t as tightly written as the previous books in the series, and the ending was a bit unsatisfying. I did like seeing more of Tom and Ben in the story, and I also enjoyed the intersection of Ben’s story with Charlie’s. And while Charlie is the lead, the author has made Jason, Jen, Lisa, Evangeline, and Daphne strong supporting characters. I’ll keep reading, since I really do like the characters.

I described this series to someone as "Ghost Whisperer with witches and less cleavage."
I really do stand by that. Nothing too thought provoking or mind blowing, just entertaining stories that are fairly decently written and don't drive me up the wall like some series I've read end up doing after the first one or two books.
If you don't go in expecting world class literature and plot lines that do nothing but push the characters towards a better version of themselves, you'll enjoy this series.

My Favorite so far
This book was definitely my favorite in this series so far, it had everything in it. I love how Wendy is giving strength to each character. The positions they find themselves into battling demons and witches is very scary. There is no doubt this would be some pretty scary scenes of this book became a movie. If you haven't started reading this series start. Can't wait to read the next one.

Oh man, shouldn't have read this in the dark in my bed while my husband is sleeping lol This one was kinda scary!! In the best possible way! I love how the characters develop from book o book. How their relationships flesh out and we learn more about them every time. This book deals with demons and setbacks and plans jot always working out, but also with truth being revealed and relationships moving forward. T
Off to book 6!!!
Off to book 6!!!

Like it, but it needs an editor
I really like the main characters, and I like the books as far as subject matter and story lines and whatnot.
But there is serious need for better editing. Too many commas when they're not needed; and not nearly enough when they ARE, for example.
Normally that would make me stop reading a series (if I could even make it through the first book); but I like the characters and overall story enough that I keep plugging my way through.
